Nursing adults with respiratory disorders - Jane E. Scullion

This book looks at the more common respiratory diseases that are seen, both in the hospital sector and in primary care. It is written by specialists involved directly in patient care. It is not an exhaustive manual, given the breadth and range of respiratory disorders with which patients present, but it does detail the more common presenting problems and their care, management and treatment.
Each chapter is useful as a standalone text and contains a full list of references.
What is apparent is that respiratory patients present in all specialties and that all health care professionals will look after patients with respiratory conditions, either as an acute event or as the consequence of chronic disease. It is hoped that this will be a useful reference book for students, nurses and other health care professionals with an interest in respiratory disease and its care, management and treatment.
